Late afternoon stroll with Aliff...



A hazy afternoon, and Aliff showed me the hidden trail of Putrajaya, with rare tree species and the wild fowls around the trail...








...mild sweet fragrant early evening and morning...tembesu, with small creamy white flowers that will turn to small red berries, a high quality timber planted along the trail...

...slowly vanish around the lowland, Rhodomyrtus tomentosa Wigh or Kemunting is a shrub, native to southeast asia...produces either light or dark purple berries, with tiny seeds, sweet and juicy...and little birds love to eat them...can be eaten straight away or can be used to make jam, high in vitamin C and have medicinal value too...

...Kemunting flowers...

Bukit Serampang...



A brief visit to Bukit Serampang during the weekend to see someone who was very dear. Passed through Tangkak, a small town famous with cheap but good quality clothes along the main streets, and could not avoid to stop to snapped some pictures...


...so many choices and colourful too...

...along the way after Tangkak, there are rambutan trees with juicy fruits and when reached Bukit Serampang, managed to pluck some fresh rambutans from the back yard...fresh and juicy rambutans...

...and saw this greenish fruits, another variety of starfruit but this one is rarely eaten fresh, too sour but it is good to flavour some dishes...

...and ended the short visit with this humble and simple yet gratifying lunch from the humble host...
